Design and simulation of coupled-resonator filters using periodically slotted electrodes on FBARs.

This paper discusses the use of periodically slotted top electrodes in the film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) structure for the realization of wideband coupled-resonator filters (CRFs), where evanescent modes in the periodic structure are used for the coupling between adjacent electrodes. First, wave propagation in this structure is investigated. Finite element analysis is performed for the Mo/ZnO/Mo structure.

This paper describes the design of RF SAW/ BAW filters with constant group delay. The band-pass LC filter is designed based on the traditional Bessel filter design. Then, LC resonators in the filter are replaced by SAW/BAW resonators with finite capacitance ratio γ.
